Yeah, I saw your email right after I sent mine =)
This works, I tried it and also ran the test suite. There was only one error.

  var s: String = ns ?? "str" as String as String // expected-error{{cannot 
convert value of type 'NSString?' to expected argument type 'String?'}}
                                                                     
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                                                                     cannot 
convert value of type 'String' to expected argument type 'NSString'


I now wonder what the effect on the source compatibility suite would be:
